Ethanol Industry Says It Is Not Competing With Any Sector for Maize, Citing Value Addition and Energy Security
Indiaโs ethanol industry is not competing with any other sector for maize, but instead is creating value from coarse cereals and strengthening the countryโs energy security, according to Bharati Balaji, deputy director-general of the Indian Alcoholic Beverage Association. Her remarks come amid renewed scrutiny of grain diversion into fuel production and the broader debate over food-versus-fuel trade-offs in Indiaโs biofuel policy.
